NatsuCon party theme: Half-Baked Prince!

In addition to the cool, yaoi-themed non-alcoholic mixed drinks, we are also bringing you a Harry Potter-themed party full of baked goods! Expect a Hogwarts feast of pumpkin bread, cookies, cupcakes, Polyjuice Potion, and more! Look around for our fliers or stop by our table for the time and room number.

 

Meet us at NatsuCon in St. Louis, MO! Room Party!

The Bishie Con staff will have a promotional table at NatsuCon, the new summer anime convention in St. Louis, Missouri! On Saturday night, join us for an awesome non-alcoholic room party. We will have tons of cool mixed drinks to choose from, like Yaoi Lemon, Sweet Uke, and Bittersweet Love Affair. Visit them at NatsuCon.org.

 

Meet us at OMGcon in Paducah, KY!

Some of our staff (along with some Kawa Kon staff) will be attending OMGcon in Paducah, KY on June 5-7. Visit us at our table, and enter an exclusive drawing for a Bishie Con t-shirt illustrated by our soon-to-be-announced International Guests of Honor! More information about OMGcon can be found at omgcon.com.

 

A Few More Staff Members Needed!

Bishie Con is looking for a few more good yaoi fans to round out the staff. If you or someone you know is ready for just under six months of fun and friends (and hard work!), just email us at katrina@kawakon.com. Our next meeting is coming up on May 31, and we will be posting information about it on the website.

 

New Events Added

A lot of new events have been added, including the Saturday night dance, more information about the Bishounen Date Auction, Takarazuka Auditions, and more! Check them out on the Panels and Events Page.

 

Volunteer Registration Open

Pre-registration for volunteers is open. If you want to get the best volunteer positions and know what you'll be doing BEFORE the convention, you can go ahead and fill in the volunteer form today! Forms are located on the Volunteers section of the website.

 

Program Book Information Up

Information about our program book ads is up on the Guests and Sponsors page. We are also open to ad swaps with magazines and other conventions. Just contact us to discuss the option.

 

L & Light's Date Night Contest Winners Announced!

Thank you to everyone who entered!

Our winners are Nefey and Hekate from Cape Girardeau. The two of them won not only because they were willing to travel TWO HOURS just to see the movie with L and Light but they also wrote the most amusing entry - a list of 20 reasons why they should be picked to go see L: Change the World on Wednesday, including such gems as:

"we are super ninja"

and

"We are willing to eat chocolate *oh the torture*"

The entire touching piece ended with:

"So uhm, you knew this was coming...
*gets down on knees and begs*
I IMPLORE YOU! WE LOVE DEATH NOTE! And uhm, we're certainly not boring...X{D
No, far from that, I assure you.
I promise not to glomp you.
I will restrain myself.
Getting sued and whatnot isn't really my thing..."

Well, glomp away guys, because you won!

Again, the contest is sponsored by VIZ Media (the tickets) and Kawa Kon (the dinner). Excerpts of the winning entry are used with permission.

 

Artist GoH - Amelie Belcher!

Our Artist Guest of Honor, who will lead workshop panels on drawing is webcomic artist and artists' alley favorite Amelie Belcher. Amelie's sexy slash pairings and super-hot bishies attract hundreds of fangirls to her table at each convention. Read more about Amelie and her art on the Guests Page! Yes, there are more guests to come.

 

First Guests - Yamila Abraham of Yaoi Press and Katrina Strauss!

Our first guest (and a big help in getting this event going) is Yamila Abraham, founder of Yaoi Press and writer of two of its most popular series. Also attending is local yaoi writer Katrina Strauss. Katrina is the author of the Blue Ruin yaoi series of e-books and many more. Read more about Yamila and Katrina on the Guests Page!
